I create sculptures, installations, and performances that explore the body and its dialogue with the mind. Coming to art at a time when my life felt excessive and language failed me, sculpture gave me a way to translate that chaos into form. Early works with motors, sound, and impossible objects became physical versions of my inner state—both unruly and precise.Today my practice is an evolving study of memory, intimacy, and disconnection, often grounded in personal history and identity. I work in ceramics, light, resin, photographs, and transparent imagery—materials chosen for their sensory and symbolic weight. Repetition, stacking, and architectural forms create a surreal logic, while light turns objects into spaces that feel like memory: familiar yet disorienting. Much of my work invites reflection and participation. Ceramic bowls inscribed with recollections act as vessels of memory; sculptural lamps blur function and atmosphere, turning light into intimacy. Installations map out spaces for viewers to move through and inhabit, echoing the shifting landscapes of body and mind. At its core, my work asks how memory lives in the body—how trauma, resilience, and identity are carried, stored, and passed on. I often return to the quiet woods of Vermont, grounding this inquiry in clay. My practice transforms fleeting experience into form, illuminating the connections between self, community, and environment.
